About The Book
"Rare and Striking photos..." — Vanity Fair France
"...the book does not just focus on Prince’s best known looks, but creates a sense of the man himself, and all the elements that afford him ‘icon’ status during his decades-long career.." — Digital Camera Magazine
"A New Prince Photography Book Cements His Status as an ‘Icon’— And It’s Already a Bestseller" — Billboard
This sumptuous and luxuriously produced volume gathers portraits, album covers, photographs of performances and rehearsals, rarely seen private moments, and candid snapshots of Prince, one of the greatest singer-songwriters of his generation. This collection from ACC Art Books & Iconic Images - publishers of the bestselling book Bowie: Icon - was curated in consultation with Steve Parke, and its impact is both powerful, and inspiring. With images by renowned and little-known photographers from around the world, close friends, and colleagues, the result is the most opulent visual anthology of Prince that has ever been published. Accompanying personal essays and reflections offer unprecedented insight into what he was like: from memories of the earliest days in Minneapolis to touring the world, each contributor shares their memories and experiences of working with - and knowing - this legendary artist.
